What is the current policy of getting a green card for doctoral students studying abroad?

For most students studying in the United States, in order to obtain a green card, the general practice is to find a job after studying in the United States, change their F- 1 student status to H- 1B employment status with their employers, and then apply for a work permit from the Ministry of Labor through their employers.

Some people with F- 1 student visas can apply for immigration in this way, whether they are teaching assistants or doing postdoctoral research.

Visiting scholars with J- 1 visas to the United States must return to their own country to live and work for two years after completing the scheduled study and research projects in the United States before they can apply for permanent residence status in the United States, which limits the ways for such people to obtain permanent residence status to some extent. ? However, such people can apply for immigration in the following three ways: (1) "extraordinary people" can apply to the immigration bureau through the first priority; ? (2) People with special talents or high education can apply to the Immigration Bureau for immigration through "national interest exemption"; ?

Holders of American L-I visas can apply to the Immigration Bureau according to the first priority among professional immigrants, and do not need to apply for a labor card from the Ministry of Labor. Immigration procedures and processes are simple and the time required is much faster. ? L- 1 visa belongs to the manager or senior manager of a branch or other type of company established by a foreign company in the United States. Generally, American branches can apply for green cards for L-L visa personnel in the company, including managers of foreign parent companies, as long as they have been operating continuously for more than one year. The parent-subsidiary relationship does not need to exist for a period of time in advance. For example, an American company has been in business for one year, and now it is wholly or partially acquired by a China company (some acquisitions need to be "effectively controlled"). The acquired American company can immediately apply for the manager's green card of this company in China. It doesn't matter whether the applicant has L- 1 status or whether he has been in the United States for L- 1 status.
